Your principal osteopath is Sue Austin
BSc(Hons) Ost, MSc. She trained at the British School of Osteopathy
qualifying in 1999 and has practised in Bingley ever since. She will
treat you using osteopathic techniques, acupuncture or a combination of
the two depending both on your preference and how you respond to
treatment. But don’t worry, if you hate needles, acupuncture is not
compulsory! Sue also treats adults using cranial osteopathic treatment. Sue is registered with the GOsC, the BOA (British Osteopathic Association) and has an MSc in Western Medical Acupuncture. She is also registered with most of the main insurance companies, but you must check first before proceeding with treatment. Jane Oates M(Ost) graduated from Leeds Metropolitan University in July 2013 with a Masters degree in Osteopathy. She has completed a Kinesio taping course and also studied some cranial osteopathy to introduce different treatment modalities. She first became interested in osteopathy after doing a work
placement within an osteopathic practice. She was fascinated by the
variety of techniques osteopaths used and the positive results they
achieve. She specifically enjoys the focus on osteopathic principles and
the holistic aspects of treatment. This focus is what she considers to differentiate osteopaths from other manual therapists. Jane has also trained as a Pilates teacher, and is currently doing one-one sessions. Jane is registered with the GOsC and the BOA (British Osteopathic Association). Jane also works in Bailiff Bridge and Halifax. Website for Bailiff Bridge Practice : http://www.jl-osteopathy.co.uk To qualify, an osteopath must study for four years for an
undergraduate degree. This is similar to a medical degree, with more
emphasis on anatomy and musculoskeletal medicine and includes more than
1,000 hours of training in osteopathic techniques. By law, osteopaths
must register with the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC). It is an
offence for anyone to call themselves an osteopath if they are not
registered. They must also undergo at least 30 hours a year of
professional development once qualified. The British Medical
Association’s guidance for general practitioners states that doctors
can safely refer patients to osteopaths.
